About this property

Quintessential Tahoe Cabin, Private beach, kayaks, Max Occ 4 adults 2 kids

The Little Stone is located in the small, gated community of Elk Point, in Zephyr Cove, NV. It was built in 1927 with granite from the excavation of nearby Cave Rock Tunnel. Although it retains all the charm of a 1920s cabin, this mountain retreat was completely modernized in 2008 and won Mountain Home Magazine’s “Best Historic Preservation” award.
Winter or summer, the Little Stone House is comfortable and inviting. The beautiful stone fireplace makes the cozy living room so relaxing after your day on the slopes. In the warmer months, this charming house provides several outdoor spaces to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms – one with a large marble shower, and the other with the original clawfoot bathtub which will take you back to a simpler time as you soak and look out the skylight above. The sofa sleeper in the loft is the perfect place for the kids to sleep since there is no privacy. A small deck off the king bedroom is a relaxing spot for your morning coffee. There is also a half bathroom downstairs. The beautifully remodeled and fully equipped kitchen features marble counters and a copper farm sink, and the dining room comfortably seats six. The back deck, shaded by tall pines, has a filtered view of the lake, and the outdoor pergola with a dining table that seats eight.
The Elk Point community has a large private beach, which you can reach by car or a five-minute walk. The beach features a roped swim area with an anchored swim and dive platform, a beach volleyball court and horseshoe pit. Double and single kayaks, stand up paddle board, bikes, water toys, sunshades and several sizes of life jackets are available for your use.

Absolutely magical stay here with my husband for my ten year anniversary. We brought our two toddlers and two friends of the family and had possibly the best vacation ever! The house was gorgeous and so special…I’ve stayed in Tahoe a million times and all the houses feel the same but this one is on another level. The private neighborhood is so good for peace and quiet, and the quick walk to the private beach cannot be beat (especially when little ones are involved). We grilled out back and ate meals outside most nights, and the rest of the time went to all the great spots close to the house. 20/10 I will be trying to stay here every time I come back now.
The kids loved this place

Perfect Stay for our Family

The Little Stone House was perfect for our family getaway celebrating our daughter's high school graduation. It had plenty of room for all four of us. The view from the back deck was a favorite for morning coffee and sunsets. The private beach was walkable and super convenient to drive and park when bringing more beach equipment. A wonderful trip!
